The Cup

We come to a passage that, at first, will seem a bit odd to read on Easter Sunday. But we will be reminded that almost every great victory is preceded by great determination. On the night before He died, Jesus had the choice to take the difficult path, drink the cup, or not. We can only celebrate an empty tomb because of the empty cup!

We start a three-part focus on the words, “The Cup,” and particularly what Jesus meant by this phrase. We see Jesus use these words several times in Scripture, without really explaining their meaning.  In the passage, he asks disciples if they can drink from “the cup,” and obviously, they don’t understand His meaning either. We will continue to look at these words on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
